A newborn weighs 3,459 grams. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in pounds and ounces?

  • A. 7 lbs 10 oz
  • B. 10 lbs 7 oz
  • C. 13 lbs 3 oz
  • D. 3 lbs 13 oz
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the weight in pounds, divide the weight in grams by the conversion factor (453.59 grams per pound). 3,459 grams · 453.59 = approximately 7 lbs 10 oz. Therefore, choice A (7 lbs 10 oz) is the correct answer. Choice B (10 lbs 7 oz) and Choice C (13 lbs 3 oz) are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct conversion. Choice D (3 lbs 13 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional pounds derived from dividing 3,459 grams by the conversion factor.
